Clinical Trial Summary
Suprachoroidal injection, a novel technique for delivering ocular therapies, may facilitate
targeted therapeutic delivery to the choroidal and retinal structures than intravitreal
injection
Description:
Suprachoroidal injection, a novel technique for delivering ocular therapies, may facilitate
targeted therapeutic delivery to the choroidal and retinal structures than intravitreal
injection. Yielding high levels of corticosteroid in the retinal and choroidal layers which
was detectable for more than 3 months with limited exposure in the anterior segment.
Triamcinolone acetonide is a synthetic corticosteroid formulated as an injectable suspension
and has been evaluated in a number of trials to be 7.5 fold more potent anti-inflammatory
than cortisone. Triamcinolone acetonide enhance tight junctions between endothelial cells
thus reducing vessel leakage. It also has an angiostatic action by inhibition of vascular
endothelial growth factor and has a useful effect on many inflammatory retinal diseases. The
recommended dose of Triamcinolone acetonide injection is 4 mg/0.1 mL which was administrated
in this study. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of suprachoroidal
Triamcinolone acetonide injection (SCTA) as adjunctive therapy in the management of
Vogt-Koyanagi Harada's (VKH) multiple serous retinal detachment (RD) and evaluate best
corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP) and central foveal thickness (CFT)
by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in patients diagnosed as VKH at ophthalmology clinic,
Benha University, EGYPT and Ebsar eye center, Benha, EGYPT.
